THE annual financial statement OF
the commissioners Of Centre county
which made its appearance in supple
ment form last week is very COM
plete and comprehensive report of the
receipts and expenditures for the year
1886. We invite the special atten-
tion of the taxpayers to the sixth col
umn of the supplement where at the
head appears the final statement of
accounts with the county treasurer,
which shows that there is a cash bal
ance of $S9S6,77 in tie treasury.
Further down in the same column
our readers will find the liabilities and
assets, with balance of S27, 42.l3
in favor of the county. With reduced
taxes all the expenses of the county
were paid, improvements were made
and a formidable balance left to begin
the new year with. If that is not. a
very creditable showing of the efficient
management of the financial affairs OF
the county by our board of commiss-
toner's then we should like to know
what more could be asked in fairness
and justice.

THE strike in New York continues
with very little signs of abating. And
that is not the worst of it. The intlu-
ence of the action Of the Knights of
Labor Union spreads to other parts
of the country. In several sections
of Pennsylvania miners and factory
employees await orders from head
quarters to ''go outn and thousands
are ready to strike simply because
thew are Knights of Labor and are in
sympathy with their brethren in New
York. THIS is a deplorable state OF
affairs and an organization with such
principles is injurious to the business
interests of the country to the largest
degree. Mayor Hewitt, of New
York, in talking to reporter the
other day, about the present labor
troubles expressed himself in the fol
lowing decisive and'pointed language;
"Any attempt to interfere with the
commerce of this country is an offence
against the Constitution and laws, and
the whole power of the United States
may be invoked to prevent any in
reference with the loading and un-
loading of vessels in the port.
The days of the Vehmgericht and OF
the Council of Ten were supposed to
be purely historical, but here is an at
tempt at the close Of the nineteenth
century to restore the terrors of secret
tribunals and blot out the rights oil
individual liberty established by the
struggles of revolution and the sacri'
fees of the three centuries which have
brought the world out of political
darkness into the light of freedom
There is nothing American about this
and it cannot last"

AS was expected President Cieve-
land signed the Interstate Com
merce bill last week and next in order
will be the appointment of the COM
mission which is to carry the proVis-
ions of the new law into effect. Like
in all cases of the kind there are q
multitude of candidates, almost every
state in the Union having its man for
the position. 1t is thought that two
of the commissioners will be taken
from New York and Pennsylvania, on
account of the extensive railroad in
terests of these states. But the Pres
ident intends moving very cautiously
in the matter, because be considers
the measure experimental and wishes
to fill the places with the ablest men
to be found in the country. Pennsyl-
vania has it's candidates and Christ
Magee, of Pittsburg, is spoken of in
Republican ranks as the most avail
able. man, while ex-Gov. Pattison is
being mentioned by the other side.

Good Thing for Teachers.
What q Prominent School Teacher
Thinks Of an Assembly Bill.

"What do you think of the legsla-
tive bill now pending requiring pay
ment of teachers salary while attend
ing institute ?n asked ii Pdtri,t report
er of Il prominent male school teacher
of Harrisburg. "lt is an equitable
measure and ought to pass" said he.
"As it is now it has been found diili-
cult TO secure the attendance of teach
ers at the Institutes in this city. If
they were led to regard such attend
ance as part of their work, for which
they were to be paid, it would doubt
less have a good effect. | think the
bill is designed more especially 10 apply
10 country schools. In country dis
tricts teachers who receive small pay
as most of them do-lind that week S
attendance at an institute.which may be
at some distant point, entails expenses
that they are not able to stand. Anoth-
er provision of the bill, requiring at
least six months school in every dis
trict, is also good. Six months are
short enough for term of school any
where"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular corresponGent.)

| WASHINGTON, Feb. I, 1887.
Congress is working away these day:
as though it realized the shortness o
| its life and the necessity Of accomplish
| ing much before the fourth OF March
| Various questions have been discussed
IN both the Senate and House during
the past week. some important meas
ureS haye been passed and others have
become laws by receiving the Presi-
| dents signature.
The Beck bill as passed makes it un-
lawful for any Senator or Representa-
tive to accept employment as attorney.
| at-law or payment for services of any
| kind in opposition to theUnit ed States
! in any case in which its interests may
be concerned. Any member of either
house of Congress who violates the pro-
visions of this act may be punished by
Imprisonment not exceeding one year
or by fine not exceeding $500, or by
both.
Mr. Evarts went so far as to say that
those lawyers in the Senate who would
vote for such a bill would make the I'M
DutatiOn against their profession that
lawyers were a cass TO be taken out
from the rest OF the community, for
fear they might be drawn over the line
of .heir duty. The right of citizens
was to be invaded because honest en-
plOyment might lead to criminality.
All of Mr.. Eyarta logic was lost upon
the Senate however, and refused by a
vote of nearly three to one.
The President IS approval of the Inter
State Commerce bill was In full accord
with the opinion of Attorney General
Garland, and with the views of the en-
tire Cabinet. The next question is,
who Will he get to serve their country
as commissioners under the new law
and against railroad corporations. A
mong two or three scores Of candidates
Col. Morrison is oftenest mentioned as
one of the number which will be ap-
pointed. He is quoted as saying lately
that it is the only position under the
Government which he desires.
Representative Reagan, who will
come to the United States Senate next
year as the successor OF Mr, Maxy, of
Texas. has long been identified with
the Interstate Commerce bill. He has
contended for this legislation for many
years, and his election may be accepted
as an Endorsement Of his course. Judge

served four years in Cong ress before
the war, and nearly twelve years since
the war. During the war he was POST

Hon. LEONARD RHoNE's endeavors to
induce the state Legislature to request
congress to amend the constitution so
that the people shall elect U. 5. Sen
ators directly are entirely in accord
with the wishes of majority of the
voting population. We have heard
opinions expressed time and again by
individuals and the press tavoring the
abandoning of the complicated elec'
toral system and it is to be hoped that
Mr.. Rhone's efforts in this direction
may be successful. There is no reas,
on whatever why the offices OF U. 5
Senator and president can not be fill
ed by direct ballots as well as many
other important offices are.

GOVERNOR BEAVER has signed the
magistrates bill and Philadelphia pol
iticians are consequently happy. That
set of grasping Office seekers have
gained their point in the face of the
opposition which the better political
element exerted against this selfish
measure. The Governors signature
of the magistrates bill clearly defines
his position in the administration of
this commonwealth. He is in the
clutches of the Republican ringsters
who dictate when they want some
thing done for their interest and the
Republican governor must obey.
This new measure creates four new

TERRIBLELOSS OF LIFE.
An Express Train Filled with Ex-
cursionlsts Bound for tho Win.
ter Carnival at Montreal
Plupges Through
Bridge.

Dispatches received last Sunday by
the associated press reported terrible
I disaster of the Montreal Express at
Woodstock, vt. The train was loaded
with passengers, mostly from Boston,
who were on their way to tie great
| Canadian winter carnival. Ira A.
Chase, of Bristol, who went to the
wreck shortly after the accident occur
| red gives the following account:
THE train left White River Junction
late, and the accident IS thought to
have occurred at 2.l5 q. IN. A broken
rail was discovered some 200 feet this
side OF the bridge, but whether this
caused the accident or wheel first
broke is III doubt. The locOmotiYe and
bridge in safety. Two passenger coach
es, the Boston sleeping car "Pllgrim"
and the Springfield sleeper tSt hlbans"
right nand side, and apparently turned
near by stated that when they got to
the scene there was no fire except In
the forward passenger car, but the
and then to the bridge. All were con-
sumed."
Twenty-siX persons so far as known
were taken out aliye from the cars
which were burned. Two OF these are
understood to be MIR. WesSOn, pistol
manufacturer of Springfield, and Ed.
Brock 'ebankS, q brakeman, but they
died soon after The two passenger
coaches were well filed and every berth
in the Boston sleeping car was occupied
and twelve IN one from Springfield,
making the total number of passenge rs
in the wrecked cars about eighty. This
will probably make the number of dead
between fifty and sixty. The bridge
was between thirty and forty feet a.
bOye the water, which was covered
with thick ice, making it probable that
death resulted from crushing and burn
ing rather than from drowning. Several
were penned in the wreck who might
have been RESCUED alive bnC for the
flames.
The bridge crossed the White river
about four miles above the town of
White River Junction, Vermont, and
near the old unused station called
Woodstock. 1t was a simple wooden
truss structure. about 900 feet long,
crossed diag0nally twenty feet above
the river. The road is the main line of
travel between Boston and Montreal.
The bridge was not considered IN any
way less safe than Ifty other similar
bridges in the rough and mountainous :
country through which the road passes.
